Dom's verdict Sorry Oxford Diecast, but I really don't
like the toy-like wheels on this model, nor the black lining
to the side windows. For me, they spoil all the effort that's gone
into reproducing the mosaic Police livery and all the fine work
put into the grille and lights. And are we missing a roof bar?

Dom's verdict The shape of this taxi is fine, although
the lack of mirrors is quite noticeable. I have no issues with
the paint finish but I have to say that the printed sweep
tends to become 'bitty' as it reaches the front wheel arches
and wings on our example.

Dom's verdict 'Diminutive' is the word here. Oxford
Diecast's newly tooled release looks well proportioned and
sports a nice interior. Even the wheels are OK. But, there's
some overspray between the colours on our sample, which, if it
affects the entire run, may need monitoring on future releases.
